ABSTRACT The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS), Australia’s archival repository for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage, is the nation’s peak body for collecting, recording, archiving and returning Indigenous-related knowledge and information. Since 1964 AIATSIS has amassed the world’s largest collection of print, audio and film materials on Australian First Nations peoples. This paper canvasses the Deadline 2025 campaign for audiovisual collections at risk and the complexities of preserving audiovisual archives. It argues that while the Plan’s institutional focus is essential, equally essential is institutional leadership in establishing integration with community-held archives, supported by appropriately resourced and skilled community-based partnerships.

截止日期 2025：AIATSIS 和视听档案

摘要 澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民研究所 (AIATSIS) 是澳大利亚土著和托雷斯海峡岛民文化遗产的档案库，是全国收集、记录、存档和归还土著相关知识和信息的最高机构。自 1964 年以来，AIATSIS 已经积累了世界上最大的关于澳大利亚原住民的印刷、音频和电影资料。本文探讨了 2025 年截止日期活动，旨在保护有风险的视听收藏品以及保存视听档案的复杂性。它认为，虽然该计划的机构重点是必不可少的，但同样重要的是机构领导在建立与社区持有的档案的整合方面，并得到适当资源和技能的社区伙伴关系的支持。
